Step into a world where pop culture collecting isn't just a hobby—it's a way of life that brings people together across distances. This episode captures the authentic essence of friendship forged through shared passions, from hunting down limited-edition Hello Kitty x Ninja Turtles McDonald's toys to planning years ahead for Star Wars Celebration events.
The conversation flows naturally between recent concert experiences and the logistical challenges of crowded venues to detailed discussions about upcoming films like "Tron," "Predator: Badlands," and nostalgic theatrical re-releases like the 35th anniversary of Ninja Turtles. Along the way, we deliver thoughtful reviews of "Weapons" and the "Twisted Metal" streaming series, analyzing storytelling techniques and unexpected plot developments with the critical eye of dedicated fans.
A particularly resonant segment tackles the frustration of rising streaming service costs—Peacock jumping from $80 to $110 annually and ESPN announcing a standalone $30 monthly service—reflecting broader concerns about the sustainability of today's fragmented entertainment landscape. This leads to candid admissions about potential returns to piracy and creative strategies to maximize value, including the beloved tradition of "Tuesday movies" at discounted prices.
Throughout it all runs the thread of collecting—the carefully planned routes to hit multiple stores efficiently, the unexpected joy of discovering forgotten purchases, and the community aspect of friends helping each other complete sets. These stories reveal how collecting transcends the objects themselves to become about the memories created, the conversations sparked, and the relationships strengthened.
Whether you're a dedicated collector, a casual fan, or simply someone who appreciates authentic conversation, this episode offers a window into how shared cultural touchpoints create meaning and connection in our lives.

nice good 30, 30 seconds of silence will be great for the audio podcast. People will be like um hello, hello, exactly.
Speaker 2:We'll make them wonder hello, you've reached.
Speaker 3:You've reached vaguely inconsistent, consistent. How are you?
Speaker 2:Consistence.
Speaker 3:Vaginally incontinent.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's how I am Did you have softball tonight. I did not. How is it not weekly?
Speaker 1:Is there another team? I just didn't do it today. I went to a concert last night up north and then was out late and then was, like you know, I didn't want to feel rushed. Getting back I said I'm going to pass this week who did you see? Above and beyond. They're like EDM. I knew it, that was my first thought too, what's up north mean. It's Ridgefield, so it's north of Vancouver, so it's about 45 minutes away, or so Not kidding, we went over this already.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was like how is that only 45? Oh yeah, we had this conversation so, but yeah, and the venue's nice. Oh, is that only 45? Oh yeah, we had this conversation.
Speaker 1:So, but yeah, and the venue's nice it's. You know, we, a couple of my friends had. They have a big giant RV with like a party deck on top of it. There's only like 26 of them of this vintage that had ever been made.
Speaker 1:And so there's a casino about 10 minutes away from the amphitheater, so we all met there, pre-gamed and then went over to the show, and the show didn't get done until right at 11 o'clock last night. So by the time we got back to the RV it was already 1230. We got back into a little more trouble, and so I ended up crashing on the couch in the RV, which was cool.
Speaker 2:It took 90 minutes to get from the venue to the RV.
Speaker 1:The parking is awful. There's only a couple of roads that go in and out of it. So we even did an Uber because we didn't want anyone driving, because, you know, everybody was Pre-game, yeah, pre-game.
Speaker 1:And so we took a Lyft. So the Lyft that we took there we got the guy's number and called him when we were done, Said, hey, can you come pick us up? And he was like, yeah, sure, but it took him half hour to get from where he was at to pick us up and then to deal with all the traffic and everything. But thankfully it was a lot less by the time he got to us because a lot of the traffic had dissipated. But right, but no, it was a really good show. So wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 2:So how does, how does that work, in the sense of you got his number, so you I guess you avoid using the lift app?
Speaker 1:Correct, we just paid him cash afterwards.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, okay so then we yeah I don't, I don't lift the.
Speaker 1:Rubers. We knew the car fit all five of us and all that kind of stuff. Sometimes even the XLs are a little. They're like, oh, you can fit more on the L-side. You're like, no, okay, maybe if they're all jack-sized it's wise, three children maybe. The guy was fine to have his number. Now, if I need to lift any other time and I don't feel like dealing with all the the lift bullshit, I have his number so I can just be like hey, dude like.
Speaker 3:he'll be like nah, it's surge pricing, son, you got to hook a brother up a little more.
Speaker 1:Well, the surge pricing on the way back for the 12-minute ride or whatever, it was going to be $160 for the five of us to get back, so we gave him $100. So he still made out all right.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'd be curious what he would have made. Yeah, I was going to take most of that anyways, right, so he's going to. That's like sending a private message to your eBay seller Like so Yep, do you mind pulling this down? And I'll give you Is that your new season Raiders cup Jack?
Speaker 3:Yes, they gave us new cups yesterday. Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2:Eric.
Speaker 3:Allen. Eric Allen. I don't know if they'll keep it going during the season, but we'll see. But it was fun to get back in. Yeah the souvenir cup.
Speaker 2:Okay, alright.
Speaker 1:Because yesterday was your guys' first home game, right?
Speaker 3:Pre-season, pre-season, yeah.
Speaker 2:Shit. I think it's the only one. I was going to say, because the Broncos, I think, only have one, yeah, we don't have another game until the Chargers, the yeah, we don't have another game until the Chargers, the 15th or 16th.
Speaker 3:Monday Night Football Okay, yeah, 15th or 16th, whatever, it is One home preseason game this year.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:It was cool, though it was fun to be back for real football.
Speaker 2:No fights.
Speaker 3:Yeah Well, you know, ashton Gentry looked all right, so I don't know, I think he'll be all right, he looked all right. We gave him the ball a few times, yeah. I saw some. Gino had a nice pass to Brock, so hopefully that keeps going.
Speaker 2:That'll be a theme all year. Yeah, but Jenty everybody's like, because obviously I watched a lot of college and watched him in college. It was like he's playing against high school teams. Of course he's going to look good. Put him in the NFL and see what happens. And game one. What happened what? 3-4 carries, 0 yards, and then now this game. I was just looking at it.
Speaker 3:What did it say?
Speaker 2:And then this game. It was like what eight carries, 32 yards, or something like that blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 3:Where'd it go? He was right there. Ashton janty proved he could deliver hits and absorb them at the nfl level, rushing for a bruising 33 yards and a touchdown on seven carries ahead of time for friday night, and then no matter when they figure it out two weeks ahead of time. What would be the two games you want to go to Like?
Speaker 2:we'll see. I know right Crap.
Speaker 3:I don't see Lou all year until December and I see him for three freaking football games in a row. Yeah right.
Speaker 2:I saw him in July. We'll see him again for five months.
Speaker 1:But when?
Speaker 2:I do. It'll be three times in four weeks. That's funny. Oh gosh, oh man. So how was the week? My week was busy. It was just tiring and busy. I had to walk property literally instead of just drive-thru properties. Once a year I do this for tree inspections and, oh my God, I hit one property, only hit half of it and it took me like four hours and it's 90, 95 degrees outside and it was. It was miserable. That was like Monday and Tuesday between that, inspections and meeting vendors. That was terrible. Wednesday finally got a break and get back to the office, and Thursday back at it. It was just in the meetings. On top of that, luckily I had Friday off, so that's what I was going to go to Colorado Springs comic con, but then I was like 65 bucks for a Friday ticket. You are out of your damn mind.
Speaker 3:Yeah, After you said that, I went and looked at like the panels. I'm like, okay, well, maybe he can do something, but I'm like none of these panels are weak as fuck, Tim Yep that's what I was thinking too.
Speaker 2:I was like I can make it work. And then I also thought about Sunday. Right, I was like, well, friday was only $3 to $9.
Speaker 4:That's what I thought right, nope and. I was like all right, no, I'll just go, maybe Sunday and just find something to do then, Right?
Speaker 2:No, it was actually $70. On Sunday More yeah, it was $5 more and a three-day badge was $145. A three-day badge that I paid for in Denver was $100.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, fan Expo is bigger than Colorado Springs, exactly.
Speaker 2:It was like you guys, don't get me wrong, they did have a good lineup. I mean, if you were going for autographs okay fine, but I was only going for one. At that point, I was like you know what I hope to see you in LA in 2017.
Speaker 3:If we had our celebration passes in hand, totally would have been worth it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's different, absolutely different.
Speaker 3:We could have cleaned up on those. They had a good lineup, who knows?
Speaker 1:when those will show up hopefully soon.
Speaker 2:I think what's going to happen. Like I told you guys, you know how they emailed me back from two months ago and said if they're gonna have the store open opening soon, I think they're gonna put those badges on the store oh, I'm sure they will yeah and then ours are gonna come with the regular, because the only way you even knew about buying them was if you walked up and asked there was no signage or anything anywhere that at all.
Speaker 3:No marketing like I don't know what you're talking about bro, yeah, let me talk to my manager.
Speaker 1:And then the manager would be like okay, let me take you to the secret a couple people knew.
Speaker 2:But here's the thing it sold out, that's true. So enough word of mouth went around that they sold out and people on Sunday could not order. That's true, but again, it still makes no sense. It's like that should be order as many as you want and we will print as many as we need. That is the dumbest thing. So I think that's what's going to happen when, like I said, they didn't say when they're, they just said soon, um, I'm not sure you know the only thing I really I'm trying to think of jack that, the comment you made you got to get the hoodie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I got to get the vader shirt.
Speaker 3:The they gave me a medium instead of xl, so other than that, I honestly can't think of too much that I that I didn't get there was that wasn't there the pin like that wasn't there. Yeah, that I was like we missed a revenge of the sith pin well, there was the tri logo too, that somebody wanted right that was a shirt, though the pin I got no, no, but the shirt there, wasn't there somebody in our group wanted the tri logo.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a good point so something else to keep an eye out for.
Speaker 2:But I'm trying to think of, like I can't think of anything else that I've. Really. That shirt was really all that's it, unless it's like that'll be some FOMO shit.
Speaker 3:You're like you know what? That was cool. Let me order it now. That's what I'm thinking, I'm trying to, I'm not about to walk up there for $1,500. Let me, uh, I can order a little bit.
Speaker 2:I remember what it was. It was. It was old girls. Um, revenge of the Sith hoodie, Uh and the uh, that purple and gray with the flower, I can't those two, uh, after seeing them, it, after seeing them, it was like, okay, that's actually really good, those would be my things. If it's available, I wonder if it's going to be open for everybody. Is there a way to know? Like, oh, I guess they have our account information.
Speaker 3:Generally they do, we get first dibs. That's what happened with Europe last time.
Speaker 2:The pass holders got dibs and then by the time it opened up for everyone else.
Speaker 3:The pass holders got dibs and then by the time it opened up for everyone else, the pass sets were gone.
Speaker 2:I was like I don't want anything, then Fuck you Europe.
Speaker 3:Yeah, again, that's the dumbest thing, I don't understand how you just print what you need, because those were nice passes until the Japan passes came out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, we'll have to have a. We'll have to have a celebration, pass battle royal at some point where we take all the different pass sets and we have them go against each other Like a freaking tournament bracket. Yeah, yeah. And then Jack can show us His framed photo of all of his, or his framed Picture, or framed Montage of all of his autographs.
Speaker 3:I almost have Two sets complete. I need to do. Well, I have one set. I have Celebration 3 complete, I think.
Speaker 2:There's one. You were only one away from, I thought.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the one that you just got me with Finn that set. What year was that?
Speaker 2:Was that 2017 Orlando?
Speaker 3:Maybe, maybe, maybe. Well, it's whichever one came out right after or right before.
Speaker 2:That would have been episode 8.
Speaker 3:It would have been after 7.
Speaker 2:Right, so that would have been 17 then. No, chicago was 19.
Speaker 3:It might have been Chicago. It might, could have been. I know.
Speaker 2:I took a picture of it Because 15 was 7, episode 7. So, 17 would have been episode 8, and it would have been. It would have been oh no, Orlando 17. Orlando 17. Yeah. Yeah, it was Orlando 17.
Speaker 3:All right, all right.
Speaker 2:Not bad for not having been and have no interest in going In the summer.
Speaker 3:That's where Empire's gonna be. Lou, he's gonna have to.
Speaker 2:Dude, I know right they're gonna do that shit, just the best way.
Speaker 1:Well, the only reason that they wouldn't is if? Well, no, they will, Because Lucas' museum too. There's one down there too uh well, they'll no, sorry, they'll have it in la because of museum, right, I would explain well, that's why 27, we figured 30, though yeah, but for 30, for 25 years, it'll be in orlando, just to piss lou off.
Speaker 2:He'll be in shorts and tank tops, bro, it'll be hilarious Look if they do it early enough in the spring, late enough in the spring, early enough in the summer, it won't be that bad. Like I can talk. I mean I did live in New Jersey. You know I was by the water. Okinawa, you know I was on an island. So it's like I haven't done it before. It's Is he in Okinawa?
Speaker 1:Yes, they're both by water. I was in Okinawa, new Jersey, guys, same thing, literally it's almost the same thing.
Speaker 3:What's their Latin longitude, are they?
Speaker 2:even close enough to the equator One has smog. Yeah, there's not a lot of smog. It was just dirty. I mean it's more of a cow farts. A lot of people forget New Jersey. Not a lot of smog, it was just dirty, I mean it's more of a cow farts. You know, a lot of people forget Jersey's a lot of like dairy cows there, yeah, and Bon Jovi and Redman and Bon Jovi Redman's from Jersey. Man, I would have lost that bet. Brick City, sorry, but yeah, so again it's like wait what is it April?
Speaker 2:1, 2, 3? 1, 2, 3, 4 or whatever in 27? If they do that for Orlando, I'd be fine.
Speaker 3:They've always done Orlando in like August, though that's my thing.
Speaker 2:For whatever reason, they always yeah. For whatever reason they pick that dumbass shit.
Speaker 1:Well, the problem is you probably have to book it really early, because I'm guessing everybody has that opinion, right, the problem is getting anywhere, getting into a lot of places, I think a lot of places which are kind of destination for conventions and stuff, and I'm not talking about like fan conventions, I'm talking about like business conventions, right, like getting them in at the first half of the year or the first few months of the year means that they can roll out whatever they're doing for a year type of thing, right?
Speaker 1:So I'm guessing it's it's harder to book time at certain places like Orlando that are very popular for those you know, business conventions and that type of thing because it's easy for them to to just, oh guys, it's Disney, come on, um and Anaheim is. It's easy for them to just, oh guys, it's Disney, come on and Anaheim is. I'm surprised they're not doing it at Anaheim, but I'm guessing it's probably a size thing. They probably expect yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, for the 50th of Star Wars. You gotta get the biggest one you can get.
Speaker 2:I thought Anaheim was bigger than LA Convention Center. I don't think so. I remember that Anaheim was bigger than LA Convention Center. I don't think so. I remember that was the back and forth On the socials when people were like, no, it's this square footage.
Speaker 3:I was going to look it up. I got it. I'm on it.
Speaker 1:I'm your Oracle.
Speaker 3:Yeah, ned over there, I'm a hacker man. What'd you think about weapons, lou? Did you like it?
Speaker 2:I did. No, it's funny. It's one of these movies where I enjoyed it a lot. Don't need to watch it again, but I found a little bit of it predictable like I won't spoil it here at all, but part of it was a little bit predictable.
Speaker 3:Just the how was not right uh, that dude and it became a comedy that last 20 minutes dude I told I leaned over to my wife I'm like they're making this funny because some fucked up shit's about to happen. And then some fucked up shit happened.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, dude, yeah, dude I was just like. I'm laughing, and then I wasn't laughing.
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 2:I was like, oh OK, all right, twitch a little bit, but man, it was cool and it made sense, because I had to think about it for a while. I was like why did this part happen over here? And it's fine. And over here I'm like, oh, because of the way. Okay, okay, I get it now, but it's almost like I don't know. I wanted A little bit more.
Speaker 1:I wanted the follow up and Does it leave itself available To a sequel?
Speaker 4:Because I thought I read something that said they're going to do a prequel, does it leave itself available to a sequel? Because I thought I read something that said they're going to do a prequel.
Speaker 1:I did read something that said they're going to do a prequel. They can do a prequel.
Speaker 2:They can do a prequel pretty easily, no problem. Yeah, they can do that.
Speaker 1:Sorry, I spoke out. I was thinking about it while saying it and I immediately went sequel. But I remember seeing something where they said they already greenlit a prequel yeah, a prequel would work, a sequel not so much if what they could do was like in the prequel.
Speaker 2:If they want to add like a post credit scene to follow up on the original, sure they could do something for three minutes, but it's honestly not really no, and if they, if they explain a little bit more in the prequel, that would go a long way too, like they would for the situation that's going on. Like, how is that allowed to go on? I would like to learn how that is a thing. So uh, that would be kind of cool. I'd be all right with that, but I don't think a sequel. I mean, if they're going to do a sequel, do a comic book.
Speaker 3:You know something. I don't know, it was not a happy ending at all, so I don't need to go on.
Speaker 2:Was it though? I don't know. I don't know if I would call it not a happy ending. It wasn't. I mean, you got five characters. One of them kind of had a head game One, yeah, it could be zero. It wasn't Glass half full.
Speaker 4:This is true All right or glass 20% full, in this case All right, who's bigger?
Speaker 1:Well, so I found a list of all the biggest US convention centers, but then I realized that the article's from 2012. So this probably has changed slightly, just because oh, yeah, not so much Anaheim, and LA, though, so they list the number.
Speaker 1:As far as biggest size information, this article says all their information came from Wikipedia. So again, it's all Right. There's going to be people in the comments that are going to go wait a second. So, as of 2012, the largest convention center in the United States is McCormick Place in Chicago, with 2,760,000 square foot of space. Number two is the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, with 2,100,000 square feet of total space. Number three is the Las Vegas Convention Center with 2 million square feet of space.
Speaker 1:I did see another article that said that the 2018, because the article that I saw was in 2018, in 2018, las Vegas hosted 44 of the top 200 conventions in the world, so now we also have the hotels to cover it too, yeah so so, going on down um san, number 18 is san diego convention center with 615 000 square feet, but I think they've expanded since then, right? I thought they did something for one of the.
Speaker 2:No, their expansion has been using the other hotels. So, they have all the extra square footage because of that, not because of their convention center is actually big.
Speaker 1:So I'm going to bounce down to Anaheim and Los Angeles and then I'm going to do a surprising one that I didn't even know. So 27 is Anaheim Convention Center with 800,000 square feet. 28 is Los Angeles Convention Center with 720,000 feet. So Anaheim is technically bigger. Wildly Oregon Convention Center is 22nd with 255,000 square feet.
Speaker 2:So it's a. It's a hell of a drop, though, for five places.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Or one million square foot total area. Yeah, so it's. It sounds like we need to come to.
Speaker 3:Vegas. Some badass badge art Like Vegas. Star Wars Fucking awesome On playing cards.
Speaker 2:Oh, that'd be cool. That actually would be pretty cool. Ace, king, queen, joker or Jack, rather, and then it would be one of the Star Wars characters and then go from there. That would be pretty tight.
Speaker 1:So yeah, so yeah. I would have lost that bet, because I would have thought that los angeles was definitely bigger just because the area it's in, it makes yeah to me it makes more sense because it's older, I would have expanded more, yeah it has it's, it's an it's in a more industrial area that I think it would be easier for them to expand.
Speaker 2:But to be fair, that was 2012. They could have expanded then and they could be expanding now with the olymp, all that stuff coming, so I mean that was 13 years ago.
Speaker 3:So they expand some breakfast, because I'm bringing you donuts every morning.
Speaker 2:Man, that was some bullshit. How is it on? A Starbucks is closed in the weekend, downtown, I get it, it's a business district, so, but you got to know that there's conventions in town and people are in hotels business districts, but you got to know that there's conventions in town and people are in those hotels. The fact that only Yoshinoya was open was just ridiculous.
Speaker 3:Can I get that breakfast teriyaki bowl?
Speaker 2:Man, ain't no joke. Can I get some? It's Yoshinoya. Can I get some I don't know some raw-ish eggs with some ketchup?
Speaker 3:That was my thing you had a gallbladder, though it would have been okay.
Speaker 2:Stop scramble. I have to do it on the way back to the hotel. As long as it's a 20-minute walk or less, I'll be all right, Else I'm going to fit in right with them. California bums, this sidewalk's about to be my bathroom.
Speaker 3:He walks over and he's like hey, bro, where you guys take your shit at Right.
Speaker 2:Just so you know it's going to be real wet.
Speaker 1:Okay, so a little bit more info for the Los Angeles Convention Center Currently 720,000 square feet of exhibition space and 147,000 square feet of meeting rooms.
Speaker 2:So I guess you should include that, because that's oh yeah, but it's important. Yeah, but then the panels are going to be but then in the kind of the AI compilation.
Speaker 1:A major expansion project is under, where it is significantly increased the center's capacity. The expansion will add 190,000 square feet of exhibit space, including a 98,000 square foot multiurpose room at the top floor and 55,000 square feet of new meeting rooms. This will bring the total exhibit space to over 1 million square feet. Yeah, but yeah, they're doing it because I think they need to for and after the Olympics, which is going to host fencing, taekwondo, table tennis, judo, wrestling and other related events, no shock there. Motherfucking.
Speaker 2:Olympics.
Speaker 3:Hell yes.
Speaker 1:Almost there. What does it say for Anaheim Winter?
Speaker 3:Olympics. I need to watch my curler hell yeah, fuck canada.
Speaker 1:So this article or this compilation says that the anaheim convention center is a one has 1.8 million square feet of function space, including 813 000 square feet of exhibit hall space, 1 million square feet of exhibit hall space, 1 million square feet of flexible exhibit space and 81,000 square feet dedicated to breakout and meeting areas. It has a 200,000 square foot main exhibit hall and multiple versatile ballrooms, but nothing about any upgrades. I guess it did an upgrade a $190 million expansion in 2017. So nothing on the board for them. Again, it depends on what you're counting and how you spin it Right. Yep.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we count all the hallways that you're going to be stuck in for hours.
Speaker 2:Yeah, winter Olympics. God, I want to say it's early February next year.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because then two years after that will be the LA Summer Olympics. Right, yeah, it's alternate.
Speaker 2:But I know it's Italy and I think it's February, but whatever, it's February and March and it's like the first half, it's the first week through the third week, right 5 through 25, or something like that February 6th through the 22nd.
Speaker 1:There you go and, yep, it's in Italy, milano, cortana, ooh, cortana, or Cortina.
Speaker 3:What's the matter with you, stupid-o?
Speaker 2:Are we going to get like Mario?
Speaker 3:Silencio Bruno. No, let's have Disney do it and there'll be a fucking Luca Little fish dude.
Speaker 2:Interesting. I would be curious Like you would think that their mascot would already be out by now. It might be. I just don't know what it is Because Japan for their World Expo? They had theirs a year ahead of time. So I got to think the Olympics has theirs or Italy has chosen theirs.
Speaker 3:By now it's less than six months from now. You got to start printing t-shirts. Let's go.
Speaker 2:Uh-huh, it's like man, oh man, that's a time difference, I'm going to have to be up late. Man, oh man, that's a time difference, I'm going to have to be up late. Mm-hmm, if I want live action anyway versus oh, everything's spoiled, now let's watch it. At least you can watch it at 1.5 speed at that point.
Speaker 2:There's that and honestly, with the streaming with Peacock although F you Peacock, I just got my renewal because I pay it by the year to save money and I just got my renewal because I pay it by the year to save money and they went up $30 from $79.99 to $109.99 for my renewal.
Speaker 2:I'm like I'm going to have to do the thing where I cancel so they can say wait, wait, wait, wait, don't leave, we'll do it. For half of that. It'll be $94 instead of man, it's like. Or is there a new account thing to do? I'm like, okay, let me cancel this one, use my other email and different credit card, it's like. But it's not even that lot, right? It's like nine bucks a month when all said and done, but still.
Speaker 3:Principle of the matter.
Speaker 2:It really is. And then you have ESPN. Sorry, assets. You see that. Okay, so ESPN bought whatever NFL and they're going to have a lot of their media and stuff like that, right, but ESPN not ESPN Plus, that garbage edition. They're going to have their own streaming so you can actually watch just ESPN without cable and just do it properly $30 a month. Oh no, sir, that's what I was like. Nah, I'm going to pass on that.
Speaker 1:I'm not paying $30 for streaming service back to the legal nfl streams, I guess uh, man, I don't even.
Speaker 2:I don't even enjoy a light well, not that I use it, because I basically do it for my parents, but I don't even enjoy the, uh, the netflix that I pay 12 bucks for, whatever the hell it is. I honestly don't even know what I pay for netflix. I'm not sure so many of them Fucking baller. Yeah, I was like whatever, Okay, let's see Netflix. Oh, never mind, it's Disney plus Hulu that I paid the big one.
Speaker 2:That one is 22 a month. Yeah, I know, right, with Hulu rolling in there next year. Prime is 10 bucks a month. Netflix is eight bucks a month, but I do yearly for Paramount and Peacock Paramount and Peacock Paramount, even with a yearly $120 a year, $10 a month. And then Peacock, after taxes, was, like I said, $88. And now it's $110 plus tax.
Speaker 2:It's terrible. How much do I like that bird so much? There's Twisted Metal. I watched that. I watched Twisted Metal. I watched that. I watched Twisted Metal. Is there enough that I watch on Peacock that I?
Speaker 3:care. Wife watches Days of Our Lives on there, so I'm not getting rid of that.
Speaker 1:I watched the last season of Traitors on there.
Speaker 2:I don't even know that show.
Speaker 1:It's from the UK, it's like Werewolves. You remember the game that you would play? Well, probably not you, lou Jack probably did With you, know, when you were at like summer camp or like out camping, and you're around. I know, see, I lost Lou.
Speaker 4:Basically like it was one. It's one of those, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Let me go back to my phone. Y'all go ahead with this.
Speaker 1:No woods, yeah. Yeah, let me go back to my phone. Y'all go ahead with this. Um. No, I mean it's just, it's one of those games that doesn't require any, um any stuff.
Speaker 1:Right, you could just do a group of people and basically you have the group of people. You tap a couple people to become werewolves or traitors, and then those people, every night, you know you have a day, everyone puts their head down. Then the werewolves get to put their head up. They get to pick somebody to kill. There's, you know, you give people that have, you know, certain abilities and that type of thing. Um, and then the goal of the townspeople is to root out all of the werewolves before all the townspeople are killed. Right, okay, okay, um, and then vice versa, right, it's up to the werewolves to kill. So it's a pretty simple game and they kind of translated it over to uh, it's been on the uk, I think it's been in eight or nine seasons, and then they just have a us one.
Speaker 2:That's in coming up on season four eight or nine seasons, so like 15 episodes got it yeah, well, I haven't watched the uk one.
Speaker 1:Uh, my friends that I was. I watched season three of the us. One said that it's better, like the host is better on the uk one. She's way more personable. But, um, they brought me in when they started watching the us season three of the us version. So I was like, okay, like then we did, we made it our friday night thing because it would come out on Thursday morning, I think. So then I'd go over Friday night, we'd have dinner, pizza or whatever, and then watch it.
Speaker 4:So that's on Peacock. That was a really long rambling story.
Speaker 1:for yes, there's one thing I do watch on Peacock.
Speaker 3:So Twisted Metal Law Order. We watched two out of three of those Days of Our.
Speaker 2:Lives, I'm not quite sure how to help you with that. I don't know what you're talking about Dang woman.
Speaker 1:Dang Alexa's like added a new reminder for Days of Our Lives no.
Speaker 3:I mean we catch some movies on there too, like Monkey Man's on there.
Speaker 1:Drop is on there. You guys see, superman hit.
Speaker 2:Wait, wait, back up what's Drop.
Speaker 3:The one where that chick goes on a date and somebody like airdrops her oh okay, that message you gotta kill your blind date. Yeah, okay, we watched Poker Face. That was pretty good, Both seasons.
Speaker 2:That's a TV show, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, right, yeah. Are you guys caught up on Twisted Metal or are you waiting until?
Speaker 2:the season's over. I'll wait until it's over.
Speaker 3:The tournament just started. I didn't watch this week's episode, yet what?
Speaker 1:do you think of it? What do you think of Twisted Metal on the whole? I like it honestly.
Speaker 2:I like season one a lot. Honestly, it's For not having played the game or anything like that. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3:In this season it keeps that going With more blood and violence. Sweet Tooth is always cool. He was a fun character. I don't mind Mackie Falcon and all that shit. I have no problems with his acting.
Speaker 2:Even was it Party of Five Girl, she's not in there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they explained that. So what happened? She has like a group of people and they're all called Raven.
Speaker 1:I mean it's episode one. Spoilers Lou Basically like the season starts in this.
Speaker 2:They got rid of her after one season.
Speaker 1:But hey, she got replaced with Madison, with a Y, but it's not where you think it is.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so I mean.
Speaker 2:Wait, wait. But seriously, was there a contract issue, or is this?
Speaker 3:part of the game I have no idea. I didn't even know she wasn't in it.
Speaker 1:Episode one he walks into the room and she's like hey, and he's like um, and then she like flips a board around and it has like a half a dozen pictures and she's like we're all, we're all raven, we're all raven so just stop, stop thinking about it, it's fine, I mean terrence howard, it works.
Speaker 3:It works for iron man too, man, so he's not here I am, deal with it.
Speaker 2:Yep, it worked for Iron man 2, man.
Speaker 1:He's not here, I am Deal with it. That's fair, had they?
Speaker 3:known they were going to. It doesn't hurt anything.
Speaker 2:I don't mind Madison.
Speaker 1:With a Y, but not where you think it is.
Speaker 2:Not where you think it is.
Speaker 1:You have to say the whole thing, you can't just say Madison that is true, though say the whole name the best side character in the MCU yep she's the anchor.
Speaker 2:I need to see her in an upcoming one. She needs to be with Wong. They need to be married at this point, something that needs to happen and not in some bullshit Secret Wars, alternate Earth, 4720 or some crap.
Speaker 1:No, Actually, Doomsday is just all 500 Madisons from all the different universes all coming together. And that's how they defeat Doom Yep, and that's how they defeat Doom.
Speaker 2:They just annoy the shit out of him.
Speaker 3:He's like fuck it.
Speaker 2:Dammit, what was the show they were watching, where she kept spoiling it for him?
Speaker 1:or he kept spoiling it. For her. It was something or Gilmore girls party of five, something like that, I thought it was some chicken show. Yeah, oh you know what Was it? The great American, british bake-off? No, I don't think so. All right, that's what you can even.
Speaker 2:How do you, how do you look that up? What show were Madison with the?
Speaker 3:right, you can Google that.
Speaker 2:Exactly? How do you look that up? What show were Madison with the ride? You can Google that.
Speaker 3:That would be funny actually you put it on there. What show did Wong in an awful watch with Matt? Yeah, that was in Cheeho this is us, this is us, this is us, oh, okay.
Speaker 1:But they, she said originally. It said they had an earlier interaction where Madison initially spoiled the Sopranos for Wong Sopranos and then they watched this Is Us.
Speaker 2:That was at the end, though. Yeah, during they were watching Sopranos and they finished that, and then this Is Us was the second one they started watching again. Yeah, that was the one with the dude from Heroes. This Is Us show. I never watched that show. This is how Wongers and I became best friends Must have been an ABC show Disney.
Speaker 1:This Is Us, I believe yeah.
Speaker 2:Y'all got any. Duke, I guess you Tuesday movie.
Speaker 1:Did not do a tuesday movie. I mean where I finding a tuesday?
Speaker 2:movie is weapons. Oh, come on now.
Speaker 1:Weapons would have been worth it well, but I'm just saying like in general, like stuff, nothing overall yeah, yeah, uh, but there's a mystery movie, so superman hit digital uh last this past week I watched it in uh 4k again. It's a really good movie. I really like it.
Speaker 2:It's okay. I saw it twice. It was okay. I liked it.
Speaker 3:I still buy physical, so I'm waiting, you should.
Speaker 2:As long as media keeps freaking, censoring crap, meaning more episodes of South. Park got pulled. Yeah, as long as they keep doing crap like that, you almost have to have physical media.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my friend, one of my video game friends posted a chart in our Discord server about the amount of pirating that's happening. And because of all the shit that you were just talking about, lou, the fucking nickel and diming and all that kind of stuff, that piracy has gone through the roof Like it's way back. It's right back to where it was, you know, 15 years ago, when it started, yeah, when all this was starting.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I can't blame any of them, it's just it's crap Like, although I do have a question. I get my new computer eventually, or have the one that I have talked through with Duke. I'm probably going to get one, but I'm curious. They pulled these episodes right from South Park If I logged in from a different country. Are they there? I'd be curious about that.
Speaker 1:It depends why they pulled it. Yeah, I mean, it would depend on if it was a.
Speaker 3:Especially with the South Park episodes, since they offend the Muslims or whatever. They would probably just pull it from everywhere because they're a worldwide people. If they ever aired it at all in other countries, yeah, but I mean a lot of them are.
Speaker 1:I would say, like outside of South Park, that the majority of the shows or movies, because of the way the licensing deals, the distribution works, like just because it's not here in the us doesn't necessarily mean you won't be able to go to like the uk, because the uk will have different a different distribution licensing setup for yeah, it makes sense.
Speaker 2:I mean, all the, all the people on youtube who are pushing nord vpn or the other one I can't remember who it is but, uh, the two VPN, uh, uh, people, that's what they say. Right, it's like you don't have it here, but log in as this person and your Netflix library doubles and stuff like that. Okay, that's cool, I'm okay with that. I'm curious, though and then there a database, like if I go and type in this movie, it's like it's not on Netflix here, but if you log in Netflix Ireland, then you're fine. Is that even a thing I'd hope?
Speaker 3:it'd be a thing, everything's on the internet, though you would think. You don't have to, but my balls are on the internet, I mean I'll just text it to you but you can find my balls on the internet.
Speaker 1:You can definitely find mine. Jack's about to get the highest civilian award because big balls.
Speaker 2:There you go. My penis may not be big, but my balls are. Let's see. Juggle these.
Speaker 3:I think we went to go see Ninja Turtles the 35th anniversary.
Speaker 2:I was going to ask you about that. I was like, hey, did you go to the 35th anniversary?
Speaker 3:I was like yes, I did.
Speaker 2:It ends in four days.
Speaker 3:That shit still holds up. That is still a very entertaining movie. I'm always like I don't think I've ever seen it. I'm like I don't think I've ever seen it. What and you married her For real, though.
Speaker 2:How about the kids?
Speaker 3:I know Otis has seen it, since she loved Turtles when she was little. I don't think little one had seen it though, but yeah, I'm sure the Otis has seen it.
Speaker 2:That was so funny. It was probably Friday night when I was trying to figure out what came out, what got released in the theater, and then it was like what I'm going to watch, potentially on Tuesday?
Speaker 1:And.
Speaker 2:I saw that it was out. I'm like I wonder if Jack's going to watch this. Like my money is on a yes.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:I was waiting all week.
Speaker 3:I'm like, hell yeah, let's go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's funny. I think my Tuesday movie going to be Nobody 2.
Speaker 3:There were no kids in there except for the ones I brought, it was all a bunch of 40-year-old dudes. And turtles yeah.
Speaker 2:That's expected, because I was going to say I imagine if I went and watched it it'd be the same man. Maybe I'll do that instead. It's still going to be in there on Tuesday, so maybe I'll do that instead, and then I'll watch Nobody 2 next week I know I'm not watching Freaky or Friday I might watch Godzilla 1 if I'm bored but, it's not a whole lot, you know there's just like Duke was saying there's not a whole lot of choices.
Speaker 2:I'm scrolling through now and it's like let me make sure Turtles is still there on Tuesday Yep 7 o'clock. I don't even have a meeting, but if I did I'd be able to make it in theory. Let me check and see if tickets are available. Only four seats taken, nice $5. Doesn't count as a $5 movie though.
Speaker 3:It's probably a Fathom thing or something it's a special anniversary, one that's right, I still got a couple free tickets that I have. Yeah, use one of your free tickets.
Speaker 2:Yep, yep, yep. Well, two of them. Oh yeah, Because somebody would have a fit if I don't take her Spoiled ass.
Speaker 1:Lou, I did put a couple links. I'm not sure how well they are updated. Again, this is just me doing some searches, so I put some links in chat, in the studio chat, for if you can find out what countries, it'll show you what countries from the different streaming platforms a given show or movie is showing up in.
Speaker 2:Okay, gotcha, I see it yeah there's not a lot coming out, hang on. Has this chat thing always been here? Yeah, there's an op, no, no, not to chat itself. There's an option here just you and duke, just you and jack, like, if I just I don't talk shit. Yeah, I don't remember seeing that before. I've seen the chat.
Speaker 3:But I've never seen the option to do we could have been talking shit the whole time.
Speaker 2:The whole time Shut up Jack.
Speaker 1:Shut up, don't tell him.
Speaker 2:Like that's new, because all the previous chats you guys were dropping, where Duke was dropping YouTube videos and links and all that this option was not there, so kudos to them for improving themselves.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't see even going to the movies coming soon on cinemark. I'm like meh, like caught stealing looks entertaining, but I don't think I would pay to see it. Which one is that?
Speaker 2:uh, austin butler and doctor who oh yeah, I'd probably watch that, but you're right, I don't know if I'd pay for it, though I'll see it when it would 100 be a um prime when it's on prime. Yeah, yeah well it's.
Speaker 1:it's also 100% a $5 movie, right? If somebody else came along and said, hey, I want to watch this, I'd be like, okay, we'll do it on Tuesday, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm with you on that one all the way.
Speaker 3:We are going to go watch K-Pop Demon Hunters next weekend.
Speaker 2:Did you finally find some tickets? Because that seemed to be a problem. How about that show Quick? Did you finally find some tickets? Because that?
Speaker 3:seemed to be a problem I bought that show quick, because when I originally bought them there were only two showings, one for $140 and one for like $600 something. But yeah, once they released those tickets, they put out a bunch more.
Speaker 2:Now they have, so it's just the Netflix show and the theater.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but it's a sing-along event, so I think they're going to turn the captions on, so everybody can party. Yeah, I liked it.
Speaker 2:I did enjoy that with Beauty and the Beast Five action.
Speaker 3:And then I did get tickets to watch Hamilton in the theater, which, yes, is just a Disney Plus one, but it's Hamilton.
Speaker 2:Is that the original crew?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was like why would you do?
Speaker 2:Okay, I can see that Wait wait crew. Yeah, yeah, okay, okay. I was like why would you do? Okay, I can see yeah is wait, wait. So this is the one that was out 10 years ago, not the dude. This is. They brought the cast back like five years or a few years ago.
Speaker 3:I mean it's whenever they recorded it?
Speaker 2:yeah, but it's the one that they have on disney plus now, yeah okay, so it's just for the experience to be with all the other hamilton fans. Yeah, and you, you're aware they're all going to sing right.
Speaker 3:That's fine, I'll sing it too. I can sing all three hours of that show. Not me.
Speaker 1:I think the next movie I might be interested in going to see would maybe be the Long Walk, and that's not coming out until the 12th.
Speaker 2:That'll be a Tuesday movie also, but wait.
Speaker 1:September.
Speaker 2:Damn, that's a month away.
Speaker 1:It has the young guy from Sinners, and then Philip Seymour Hoffman's kid.
Speaker 3:It's just very interesting to me that they have to watch.
Speaker 2:I didn't read the book, so I'm not spoiled on that one.
Speaker 3:I don't know what's going to happen, so by not reading the book.
Speaker 2:I feel like I'm okay watching that.
Speaker 3:And then what Tron's in October Him.
Speaker 2:Something November.
Speaker 1:Him might be interesting.
Speaker 3:Is it the sequel to Her?
Speaker 1:No, it's Joaquin Phoenix getting hit. That's a lost opportunity. Joaquin Phoenix getting hit in the head with a football. It's like a Jordan Peele horror movie. I don't know, dude, the trailers look pretty interesting.
Speaker 2:I swear I saw that one. Was it on your list? I remember seeing that trailer.
Speaker 1:I think we had a trailer conversation about it. Oh, alright.
Speaker 2:I remember seeing whether the theater or whether from Duke. I remember seeing that Jordan pill, huh Uh, horror.
Speaker 1:What's the difference between Spider-Man two and Spider-Man 2.1? Because they're doing a director's cut. Okay, so they're doing a Fandango for Spider-Man 2.1 on September 27th.
Speaker 2:Wait, yeah, it's a director's cut Toby. Okay, I was going to say are we talking like across the universe?
Speaker 3:I remember that was a big deal when the DVD came out.
Speaker 2:There's a director's cut. Yeah, what's different, if anything?
Speaker 3:I don't know, it's a good five, ten, fifteen minutes longer.
Speaker 2:It adds stuff to it. That's quite a bit of stuff. Okay, all right.
Speaker 3:What is that For? Being the best one out of that trilogy?
Speaker 1:that is September 27th.
Speaker 2:Doc Ock, yeah, end of September.
Speaker 3:That's the one that Mary Jane dies right no.
Speaker 2:No, mary Jane doesn't die in any of those.
Speaker 1:Oh, that was the Andrew Garfield one. And it wasn't Mary Jane either, or it was. That was Gwen Stacy, bro, gwen, okay, gwen.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just like the comics, the whole neck-snapping thing.
Speaker 1:Tron comes out October 10th. Roofman is October 10th.
Speaker 2:Which Roofman.
Speaker 1:That's the one. Channing Tatum is a thief. Oh, where he lives in Toys R Us, yeah.
Speaker 2:See, see, okay, okay. I saw that trailer during Weapons or before whatever it was, the week before during Naked Gun and I'm all like I don't know if I could true story. I don't want to go read what happens, but I'm going to be mad if he gets caught Like I'm on his side.
Speaker 2:Turn his life around and all that. I remember the highlights where they were like, hey, this new story. I'm like, oh, I remember that I don't remember what happened. Now I'm torn between go find out what happened so I'm not pissed when I go watch it in the theater, or just play it out and see what happens.
Speaker 1:I don't know what I want to do, then read up on it afterwards to see what they got wrong. Good fortune the Keanu Reeves Guardian Angel movie is October 17th October 17th. We got a month before.
Speaker 3:When's Predator come out? What about Predator? Is that November, november, I thought?
Speaker 1:I could be dead by then. I think the Smashing Machine is going to be really good, but the Brock's prosthetics are super off-putting to me.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, yeah, but I think it's one of those ones.
Speaker 1:you know it's the one you cry at the end because everything's all emotional and shit. But then, like, yeah, I'm like, uh, he looks weird. I don't know. I don't know. See, now Jack knows about the chat and now all he's doing throughout the entire show is just just so people who?
Speaker 3:you didn't hear me. You said the smashing machine. I said that's what I call my cock I thought it was big balls.
Speaker 1:Wait a second. You said you had a little dick, but big balls what's?
Speaker 2:happening. That's why it's a smash machine.
Speaker 1:It looks like it's been smashed he's, he put it in a smashing machine.
Speaker 3:Let's just say, when I teabag you, it's pretty bad.
Speaker 2:You're suffocated, buddy. You won't touch pain, but you're done for.
Speaker 1:Predator Badlands is November 7th, the same day as the Running man.
Speaker 2:I still have to go back and watch that animated I was going to ask for you guys.
Speaker 3:I totally spaced it.
Speaker 2:I remembered it around Comic-Con but I forgot, so I'll add that to my list. I've been too busy watching Good Life Marty on season 2, like episode 4.
Speaker 3:Oh, so you got the twist then.
Speaker 1:So you got the twist and it made it worth it, right? You're like, oh, this totally makes sense now.
Speaker 2:I mean yeah, I mean it's all.
Speaker 1:Because you were like, oh, this is bullshit. And both Jack and I were like, just wait until the end of the season.
Speaker 2:You know what? Here's what's funny About the first couple episodes in. I was all like maybe they're in hell. Actually I'm like no, that'd be dumb.
Speaker 1:And then they're like hey, we're in hell and you're like god damn it.
Speaker 2:But I hope it. I'm curious. I just got to the episode I just finished, the episode where Michael finally gave up on trial 170 or something and he wants to recruit the four of them to work with him against the girl. So that's how the episode ended. So that's where I'll pick it up tomorrow.
Speaker 3:Isn't that, sabine? Yes, she's one of the demons. Sabine is the main.
Speaker 2:The voice of Sabine.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Was she the real good, eleanor?
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, yeah, she was Eleanor.
Speaker 3:The Indian-looking lady. Indian-looking girl.
Speaker 1:Oh, I didn't know, she was Sabine. That's crazy. Sikar, tia Sikar.
Speaker 2:Oh, right on. But I will admit I've enjoyed that show. I mean I was surprised there's only 13-episode season for season one. I don't know if two and three and four are that, but when it got to the end of the season I'm like okay, because you know how it pops up the next episode.
Speaker 3:It was like uh season two episode two episode.
Speaker 2:I'm like wait, wait, wait, wait. What the hell we're back to fucking.
Speaker 3:I think it was a mid-season show, so you know they're like maybe, maybe not oh, one of those.
Speaker 2:yeah, we'll see if it picks up. We'll start this in January and then see if it holds. Yeah, okay, got it. So are the other seasons short as well?
Speaker 1:I don't remember. It's been a long time I was about to look it up.
Speaker 2:I was like let me ask the question first before I go look it up, Because I'm like Jack on that, where you get into somebody and they're like Google, that shit. I'm like that takes away from the conversation.
Speaker 1:Every season, except for season four, is 13 episodes and season four is 14 episodes.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And it premiered on September 19th 2016.
Speaker 3:Oh, so it wasn't even a mid-season, they just wanted it to be 13 episodes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they just did a half. Well, it makes sense, though, and maybe they weren't sure how it was going to do so, like, look, we'll buy 13 and we'll see how it goes. But I guess they were like, hey, 13 works, makes big people want it. You're like, oh, I missed, I came up to September, because that's where most of their dollars are. Right, it's September and May, so that makes sense. He's at finales and premieres.
Speaker 1:And Janet, I think, is my favorite television character of all time. Janet is awesome.
Speaker 2:Janet is awesome. I tell you what I finally, but after watching this now absolutely understood what Earl Gould meant when she's like his character is way different in the acolyte than he was in Good Life. I'm like what?
Speaker 3:are you talking?
Speaker 2:about Bortles Right Like a Jacksonville Jaguar to this guy, but I'm all like no, he has a twin brother or something. There's no way he is doing both roles. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Because, holy shit, he's in another show. I watched Nine Perfect Strangers and he's like right in the middle of both of those characters in that show.
Speaker 1:Jason Mendoza, damn. All of the characters from the Good Place are great. That's why it's pretty amazing that Janet stands out so much, head and shoulders above everybody else on that show. Yeah, I just keep getting everything. Even though she blips in.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah yeah, all gold keeps looking at me, and for whatever reason, when chidi does one of his ocd things, I'm just like what?
Speaker 1:just wait, just wait, my friend, because we we dig deep into that and she's gonna be like are you feeling seen yet son.
Speaker 3:Do you remember signing your life away for them to make a show about you?
Speaker 2:Because, oh man, I'll at least make a decision. I will go through all the options and outcomes. I still do that, but I'll at least eventually make a decision. Dude the episode. I don't know if it was the end of season one or start season two, but when his buddy made him the best man and gave him a test run it was like I'm sorry I ruined it.
Speaker 2:I'm like, yeah, it's not for another month. I'm like smart dude, smart, that was pretty good. But yeah, I'm enjoying that show a lot. And then now she's re-watching Flash. She's on season one, episode five. I said, get to me. When the season ends with their daughter shows up like season four or something, I was like I'll jump in then and I'll finish the show, because I never finished it. So it's like, all right, I don't need to re-watch the first three seasons, but I'll jump in. I mean, you are missing Killer Frost. No, no, no, oh, I am missing that.
Speaker 3:No, you know what? Eventually they split them. So then you get Cailin and Killer Frost at the same time.
Speaker 2:Wow, that's cool. My only question is going to be like do I just not even bother with the crossovers or just watch the crossovers you? Do I just not even bother with the crossovers or just watch the crossovers?
Speaker 3:Watch these four or five episodes Do.
Speaker 2:I just watch the Flash, or do I just go ahead and watch Arrow, go ahead and watch League of.
Speaker 3:I don't think they were doing crossovers. By the time you catch up.
Speaker 2:I only got to see one crossover, maybe two. I know I missed two crossovers.
Speaker 3:I'm pretty sure Arrow was over by the time his daughter showed up.
Speaker 2:No, it wasn't when that season happened. When the daughter showed up, Arrow had just gone to prison and I did not watch the prison season. Then the season after that was only a half season, so I missed one and a half of Arrow and then five of freaking Flash. So there's probably two crossovers that I missed.
Speaker 1:Two, four, six, seven. According to the fandom page for the Arrowverse episodes, there were seven crossover episodes that happened.
Speaker 2:No, that's different, though, unless they specifically mean crossover with all four shows.
Speaker 1:Well, I think they're just talking about crossovers period, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, no, no. I need specifically the four shows.
Speaker 1:So the first one, they say, is like Flash versus Arrow, but those were the only two shows that were happening at the time, right, yeah, I'm not counting those.
Speaker 2:So then, heroes Join Forces.
Speaker 1:It was a setup for Legends of Tomorrow, so Team.
Speaker 2:Flash.
Speaker 1:Team Arrow joined forces. But then they also introduced the Legends of Tomorrow, so then that show spun off onto its own thing.
Speaker 2:Right, right, right.
Speaker 1:So after that, the Invasion which the third episode event, which was an alien race, called. The dominators invade earth and the earth one heroes call for help from super that one.
Speaker 2:But then they brought supergirl in, yeah, and then supergirl spun off. At that point I'm only talking about the four show crisis on earth x that elseworlds crisis on earth armageddon so those are the four that they said every.
Speaker 1:I think once they did the, the final one with Supergirl, then it became everybody coming together for all the other four.
Speaker 2:Although, if that's the case, maybe I saw two of those, but I don't think so Because Arrow wouldn't have been around for all of them. Yeah, because he died or did that new job After that season is when Arrow went to prison, and then there was a crossover then and then the 13 finale season. I think there was a crossover then. So if they did two more after that, arrow wouldn't have been a part of it.
Speaker 3:Or would he have been?
Speaker 2:Spoilers, then all right, but either way. Point is I have a feeling I'm going to just go watch those individual episodes of those shows to get the story, and then I'll go back eventually and finish Arrow and go back. I'm not saying she's super girl, fuck off.
Speaker 3:What if I tell you Alex died and there's no more lesbians?
Speaker 2:No, that would piss me off even more. She never should have been a lesbian in the first place.
Speaker 3:She can be a lesbian. She just can't be like hi, I'm Alex, I'm a lesbian.
Speaker 2:No, she can't even be a lesbian because she was not in season one. They changed it to fit their woke agenda. So because of that, just like Jimmy, everything changed to fit their goddamn agendas. And that nope, not doing it. So Supergirl will not get my views, except for the crossover, because that's where I get the story. Not get my views except for the crossover, because that's where I get the story. They did it right with their quote-unquote lesbian in what was the one, the League of Extraordinary Heroes, whatever it was called.
Speaker 3:That will get it right. No, fuck it, it's all about the gunverse. Now that's my only Superman.
Speaker 1:Creature Commandos Peacemaker. We got Peacemaker coming out this week too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I did a rewatch of that last week. That's why Superman got dropped on digital, because God wanted as many people to watch it before Peacemaker came out.
Speaker 3:No, it's going to be weekly.
Speaker 2:Lou Damn it. I might have to watch that one though.
Speaker 1:Peacemaker.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's some. I enjoyed that so much the first time around that I might just go ahead and watch that one weekly.
Speaker 3:I've been listening to the Peacemaker podcast.
Speaker 1:They're going over season one, right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's James Gunn, Steve Agee and Jennifer Holland. It's those three every episode. Then they have guests. They had Robert Patrick on there, they had the girl that plays Adebayo on there, oh, his dad yeah. And they just go over each episode. Then James Gunn highlights the music what's canon, what isn't canon? It's actually a pretty good podcast.
Speaker 2:It's all canon or it's bullshit.
Speaker 3:No, he said it's not. I think they mentioned Batmite and he's like well, because Batman doesn't exist, yet Batmite can't exist, and then the Justice League is not coming, which isn't true because he was in Creature.
Speaker 2:Commandos. Oh yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1:That's true. Batman was in Creature Commandos, so Mm-hmm. Sure was. He does exist, we just don't know who he is.
Speaker 2:He's just not Robert Pattinson. When does that movie come out? Are we in post-production?
Speaker 3:No, Gunn just approved the script and they're supposed to start at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 2:Wait, wait, wait. That's part of his universe.
Speaker 3:No, no, it's its own thing, no, it's.
Speaker 2:It's why he's going to prove this? Oh, because he's the whole. He's still the boss, he's still the whatever this last episode was.
Speaker 3:Um, they got into pooping your pants. So, jen holland, she convinced him to tell the story and he he's like I'm the goddamn CEO of DC Movies and you're having me tell a story about shitting my pants. He was getting ready for his colonoscopy.
Speaker 3:So he drank that shit. And he's like, yeah, whatever, I'm just laying in bed and reading this comic book. He's like I need to go potty, it's fine, I'll finish my comic. He's like nah, nope, nope, nah, no, nope, nope, he's hauling ass running to the bathroom he trips over this box of like promotion. Shit does like a cartwheel, just spray shit everywhere and he's like. He's like. I wanted to curse her out, but it was my fucking box that I left there oh my god, that is so funny and he's like speaking of speaking of which dude did you shit your pants?
Speaker 3:yet?
Speaker 2:I was gonna say you were waiting until you had time.
Speaker 1:You've had time for the last month I've called twice and they haven't had a schedule ready, so that's my problem is I'm trying, but when I call, if they, like I said, it doesn't make any sense to me how they don't, how they can't the way that they know, they that they know that stuff is just really bizarre to me, like it's hard for me to wrap my head around that, because to me you should just have standardized like okay, we're at this week, we're at these two facilities next week, we're at these two facilities the week after that, and then just keep that cycle.
Speaker 1:But I guess it's just very fluid.
Speaker 2:Where's the button?
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're undoing your buttons, Jack, come on.
Speaker 2:Right, isn't there a sound for that? That is the sound for that. And then it sounds like you just poured a pitcher into some water, of water into some other water.
Speaker 1:That's basically how it is. At the end You're uh.
Speaker 2:At the end.
Speaker 1:The jokes don't end, no, ever. Yeah, I don't know why he wasn't sitting on the shitter just reading his comic book, because you cannot trust. Once you take all the like when you're in the final run of it and you're finishing the big bottle and you've taken the Ducalax and the Laxatives.
Speaker 2:Take the goddamn comic book to the bathroom with you. How is this hard?
Speaker 1:Yeah right, I don't trust my ass normally, so if I feel a burble and I'm running I'm already proactively running I'm not like, ah, it's fine, you know what? I'm going to finish this podcast.
Speaker 2:It'll be fine, oh no, oh God, I've had that on the road for whatever reason with my gallbladder and it's like where's the closest Walmart target? I'm about to give somebody job security. I just wanted to check to see if apple pie still had that same effect. It does Target you're my friend.
Speaker 1:We've narrowed it down to being the apple pie. You still can't eat apple pie. Merry Christmas apple pie. Fuck you Right, but I have to eat it because it smells so good.
Speaker 2:So, american man, let me be home. I don't care about the rules. I'll go to IHOP, get over Easy Eggs to go and eat that breakfast at home.
Speaker 1:On the toilet because you already know it'll be about 10-15 minutes.
Speaker 2:It only takes about 15-20 minutes. So I'm still good, I can eat it, enjoy it for a bit, and then I make sure it's like oh, I've got to read this article. Nope, nope, I know what's coming.
Speaker 1:I've got to read. Oh wait, send to my phone. Send to my phone, here we go.
Speaker 2:Just slide it over here we go, we're good, I got 30 minutes worth of articles. Yep, I've been there 30 minutes anyway even if. I the game's fault man, the game's cheap and I won't leave until I beat the game. Can't leave on a losing note.
Speaker 3:That's why Lou can't have a bidet. He just has the stream on at the end, just wasting water, his water bill doubles Lou, how do you have a $350 water bill? Well, it's a cheap fucking game, that's why you gotta sit on the toilet longer.
Speaker 2:Some bullshit. That bouncing ball hit that brick and they started going down instead of up. Man, I wasted my brick stream. I have 72 balls in that brick stream and no bullshit my butthole's clean, though it's so clean, very clean, right it's so clean, I started it looks like.
Speaker 1:It looks like one of those walls that had graffiti all over it and then they come through and clean it off and it just just like it looks clean. But you're like there's something wrong here. It doesn't look right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, my farts are sparkling, oh my God.
Speaker 2:But yeah, I mean I have done it, though there's been a couple times where, like you know what, I just want this, and, to be fair, not every time, it's only every once in a while. With the gallbladder, it's like I had something with I think it was apple pie or something like cobbler or whatever, and I was waiting. I was waiting and, don't get me wrong I had a little bit of the bubbly guts, just a tad, just a skosh, but it was like went away. Oh okay, I mean, obviously I don't think I recovered, but it was just. Maybe I didn't have enough, I didn't eat enough and it was fine. So the one I miss the most, it's really the over-easy eggs. When I go to breakfast, I want the yolk all over my hash browns, you know, and I can't do it, Can't risk it. So, like I said, unless I know I'm doing IHOP breakfast or dinner and I know I'm going to finish eating and go home, then I can risk it, because if something happens, great, I'm covered. If it doesn't happen, great, it worked out.
Speaker 2:You won't do it on a Tuesday.
Speaker 1:It is not.
Speaker 2:You'd be running like one of those kids. The theater would not, the theater would not. No, that would not go well.
Speaker 3:Bro, when that chick came out of the house with the scissors.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, I don't know. I think Tuesday will be Turtles Monday I have a meeting.
Speaker 3:If for nothing else Partners in Crime For real T-U-R-T-L-E. Powers. Except for when they say Raphael's the leader. I'm like, sir, have you never watched an intro?
Speaker 2:to your life For real.
Speaker 1:Nobody bothered to correct this, raphael, is 100% the outsider. You don't even want to be there.
Speaker 2:For real.
Speaker 1:We're pretty close to your crossover. Your Hello Kitty Turtles.
Speaker 3:Oh, 9-11, right, Yep, me too, hell yeah.
Speaker 2:That was so funny. After like less than 24 hours he had like 7. That was so funny.
Speaker 1:after like Less than 24 hours he had like I realized that it had been probably Years since I'd been inside a McDonald's. It was really weird.
Speaker 3:Usually this is the drive-thru. Who goes inside? That's weird.
Speaker 2:I go inside when I want like refills. Like I'm not doing inspections, I'm thirsty, so I'll go inside. But yeah, going in there, and there was another guy. Like I'm not doing inspections, I'm thirsty, so I'll go inside then.
Speaker 1:But uh, yeah, going in there, and there was another guy like in there and he was like even being more Awkward than I was, which was cool. And then the manager cause then we're like both Kind of hovering cause there's no, they have all the machines down, so you do everything there's never anybody in the Lobby, so both of us are just kind of Standing around and he comes up. He's like can I help you with something? I go, hey, like my friend is doing the hello kitty turtle thing do you have somebody else right after that.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, it's true, I'm actually asking for a friend and the guy's like, yeah, let me go get the box, and I went, okay, so then he brought it out and the other guy's like, oh good, because that's what I was gonna to ask about too. I'm like you, fucking asshole, I got dibs bitch. I asked, and then man. I just walked up and said hey, then the manager was telling us that I guess the one before was like Hello Kitty and Dragon Ball Z, which I guess was hugely popular.
Speaker 1:But he's like we might have a few of those in the back and then the other guy got all excited and was like hey, can you go look? And he's like did they? Yeah, he said they were gone so they must have put them. He goes. What ends up happening is when they're assembling the boxes, so they have like the giant stacks at the end where the bags and stuff are. He's like what they'll do is they'll do a giant stack and they'll fold them and then they'll just drop a toy in each one.
Speaker 1:So that's why I ended up with four, because I bought three, but then he grabbed the box off the stack and there was one already in there, so that's why I ended up with the bonus one, which I'm fine with. Yeah.
Speaker 2:They're bigger than I was expecting. Honestly, I was expecting almost durable sized and then, I saw them in the little case that. Jack probably asked the manager to buy or should have, but I was like, whoa, that's a decent size. I was not expecting that. But you know what, Maybe I don't know because after this I haven't eaten dinner yet. So as soon as this is over, the only thing that's open is Wendy's and McDonald's. So maybe I'll check with him.
Speaker 1:Finish it out. Get him the last two For 85 cents.
Speaker 3:That's what I told your ex yesterday. We were talking about it. I'm like, yeah, I sent Lou after it.
Speaker 1:She's like oh, so you have them all then I'm like almost that's funny Dog with a bone man Dog with a bone Sick him, sick him, sick him Lou out here chasing cars with cases of Hello Kitty turtle toys in them 100% Hell every time I Back when it was more into it.
Speaker 2:whatever is collectible like that's a target truck. I don't who robs a target truck. I probably get away with that. Nobody's expecting that no game stop, especially with magic now, because it turns out some of the more pricier magic cards are cheaper at game stop. I was not expecting that they have these, these fancy collector pack things. Uh, just's more rare. They're $45 normally at the stores, they're $28 at GameStop. I'm like, oh, I'll just buy them here then.
Speaker 3:GameStop knows how to stay in business.
Speaker 2:Doing it for me. I'll tell you that much. I'll do pre-orders for the stuff that's coming out the Spider-Man in September and Avatar in November. For Magic, I pre-ordered on Amazon just because there's no guarantee that stores are going to get them. There are rumors that the stores are being allocated so badly that they may only have product to do the tournaments and not actually sell. I was like, let me just go ahead and buy a box here and then be done with it. Then GameStop usually doesn't do that, you have to go physically. So I'm like, all right, I've already started my map so I know where all the different GameStops are to make the most efficient route. So I can go to this one when they open, because some of them open at 10. Some open at 11 or 11 and 12, whatever. So I'm like, okay, all the ones that open at 10 go here, here, here.
Speaker 3:And then that put me around.
Speaker 2:This one opens not as Walmart Bruh Target actually it's Target 120th and Washington. So yeah, so yeah, I'm trying to maximize the efficiency of my route.
Speaker 1:That was Jack and I for many, many, many Sundays.
Speaker 2:Saturday I was going to say why a particular day, what was going on.
Speaker 3:We just hung out on Sundays.
Speaker 2:Oh, just the day you hung out. It's just coincidence, for when you guys were I assume three and three quarter and shopping.
Speaker 1:I got off work at like seven in the morning on Sunday, so I'd go and take a nap at Jack's house like on the couch until he got up like nine and then we'd roll out and we had our route that we took for all the the mall toys or S's. So KB toys, toys or S's targets Walmart's. Um.
Speaker 2:I've got my target route, that one. It's actually my visor, so I know which. I just put it all on the uh uh GPS and just put them all in. Well, you know the whole ad, stop, ad, stop, ad stop. I haven't done it for Walmart yet, because it's so hit or miss. The Walmarts are so spread out out here that it's just usually if I'm around like, oh, I'm going to go here, so I'll hit the Walmart that's over here, like my inspection days, for example. Right, oh, I have inspections over by this property. Oh, there's two Walmarts I'm going to pass. That's usually what I do. That's why I found all the stuff the last couple of weeks that Little Miss spoiled-ass princess, one For real, huh. Well, you too, fucker. Let's see what do I have for the package. Let's see Three Star Wars adorbs, different adorbs. Two, three, three McDonald's toys. That one's Duke's, his Taylor Swift lanyard.
Speaker 1:Wait, that didn't get left, that didn't get left at Jack Russell?
Speaker 2:No, because it was an old girl's bag.
Speaker 3:Small stuff didn't get gone through.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that didn't get gone through. She went through her stuff. She's like oh, I have this as Duke's. I'm like, okay. And then the Boo let's Party set, which I found now seven of One for you, one for Sap and then five extra to throw online to help pay for all the shit that I've been buying. It's fun, though. I enjoy the hunt.
Speaker 1:Are we happy that we finally got a point where there was no good Roosevelt's or no Roosevelt's that we were over the moon about?
Speaker 3:Uh, yeah, I'm not mad about it. I will probably get the Oogie Boogie one though. Yeah, just because it's exclusive.
Speaker 2:I um I didn't really care for that movie, so yeah.
Speaker 3:I'm not going to lie, I'll definitely grab it.
Speaker 2:I was about to ask that you haven't been in a minute. Labor Day, that's still a minute. At that point it would be 6-7 weeks since you went.
Speaker 1:For real Football. Right, you're not missing a game, no.
Speaker 2:Well, I was going to say Last year, just rushed back. As long as it's an afternoon game, right, you're not missing a game. Well, I was going to say last year, just rushed back and it was fine, long as it's an afternoon game, which it usually always is because it's a West Coast game. What you need is Monday Night Football Sunday Night Football, so you don't have to worry about it.
Speaker 1:For real Thursday? No, not.
Speaker 3:Thursday no, then he misses.
Speaker 2:Then he misses a game the Raiders on Thursday this year, I think are away games. They are.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so he gets to go to that one. Yeah, so I can go to every game. So I mean, depending on what those TBD games are I guess All 10 this year. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, that reminds me, is your boy all happy that we're not coming in, so he gets to get the Chicago tickets?
Speaker 3:on dude, I just be busy all fucking week. I'm sure he will be.
Speaker 1:I also think our change in schedule is good. I think it'll be a.
Speaker 2:I mean I don't mind it. I kind of like the idea of watching and it doesn't even have to be just this one, because it's Pittsburgh, pittsburgh, minnesota. If there's like a morning and we're up and we're all watching football, just freaking log and say, hey guys, what? Are you doing?
Speaker 2:watching the game. I'm watching Red Zone. Well then, fucking log on. You know it'll be one of those type of things and we don't have to like, do this or keep it. We don't have to keep consistent. You're going to see me looking this way the whole time at Red.
Speaker 2:Zone. Yeah, yeah, there's going to a lot of that, a lot of dumbass. Like I've always said, I'm a football fan first, but when I watch stupid football from any team, I'm making fun of it. I'm like what is wrong? You are professionals, what are you doing? I will talk to that and then usually it'll be you see me doing this, you see me doing this.
Speaker 2:I'll have Red Zone here and the Steelers or Giants game. If it's on local broadcast, because I have the Hulu package, if they're showing it, then that'll be here. Else it's just Red Zone the whole time. Oh, unless the Broncos game I almost always put up just to be a hater. I just want to make sure anything bad happens. It makes me happy. Just give me a good old smile. Pittsburgh's losing, that's okay. Broncos doing dumb shit Balances it out. Plus, usually old girls watching like the other end of the couch.
Speaker 2:So I have to have the broncos game. So because she actually roots for the broncos, she's a cheese fan. Because of my homes, because my home's with the texas tech where she's from, or loving where she's from, so that's the whole kansas city connection. But having been here 20 plus years, she's gonna latch on to the broncos like. That's that. I've been, I've been, I've been here 12 years, 13 years, 14, 15, if you count the first two. And no, I will root. I will root for their soccer team and that's it. Everything else, nope. Although although as much as I like the golden knights, I don't mind the avalanche. I only mind the avalanche when they're playing, the golden knights. Other than that, they don't really bother me. It's just the baseball team and the football team where they're really the two. Everything else, man, whatever.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's it back basketball I can't say I was gonna say I know you're not rooting for them so the main no the main sports, the main, the three main us sports. You fucking hate the teams in denver, but everybody, all the other smaller leagues, yeah, you're like ah, it's fine.
Speaker 2:Like ah, it's fine, it's fine. I mean, I'll admit I was kind of. I mean, I've always been a New Jersey Devils fan of hockey because I learned hockey when I lived in New Jersey when you lived in Okinawa, which is very similar to. Okinawa. Just so you all know, they both have vowels and consonants in their name, which I spelled out just so. They both have vowels and consonants in their name.
Speaker 3:We just spell it out, just so you know very islands, islands, they both. Basically.
Speaker 2:New Jersey has, I mean just barely. I mean they kind of are about the same size too.
Speaker 3:A lot of famous rappers from Okinawa too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean I'll let you know when I'm back there, cause I'll probably get their CDs off the street, cause that's what I do, um, but yeah, anyways, actually, actually that kind of reminds me. Uh, I don't know how that reminds me, but it did, uh next year, with with a celebration with uh disney, with that whole schedule being messed up because of denver comic-con and not being able to go into may, which would have to be sooner, but again, how much sooner, because I don't want to go in December and then go right back two, three months later just because it worked more than anything.
Speaker 3:Well, just wait until Season of the Force starts. I mean honestly.
Speaker 2:Well, but isn't that? That's what I'm saying, though. If I go in December, Season of the Force is like three months later.
Speaker 3:Four Five. It's like the end of April, dude.
Speaker 1:Oh I see End of April through.
Speaker 2:May. Yeah Well, you said end of April through third weekend. Hold on Wait. This year was.
Speaker 3:March 28th through May 11th.
Speaker 2:So it was probably end of March through the second week of May. Yeah, but it also depends. So it's probably end of March through the second week of May.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but also depends on if they adjust it a little bit because of Mando and Grogu, so they could push it further and to start further into April.
Speaker 2:I'll need because I thought you said, I thought you sent us the schedule, you texted us that it was like oh, that was for this year.
Speaker 3:They haven't put next year's out.
Speaker 2:Oh, those were this year. They haven't put next year's out yet oh those were this year's, you were telling me.
Speaker 2:I thought you were saying that was next year's. No, no, okay, okay, I guess we'll see then. But again, either way, it was like go to Disney in December. If I go to Disney in late April, early May, then I've got Denver Comic Con right after that, but nothing to get into Comic San Diego after that. So it was like, um, but it was a matter of, do I want to uh save and go to Europe? Uh, knowing I'm going to Japan in 28. Well, I want to go to Europe in 26,. La con, star Wars, in 27. It's like I don't know, we'll see. But the schedule for that, uh, season of the Force, that's going to matter. How late can I go, but still not be too close to Denver Comic Con? It's next to Denver, we'll see.
Speaker 3:We'll make the work We'll do. Hyperspace Mountain.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, Because we did it that one year two years ago right, that's when we did Last year Yep, so yeah, I was like did we?
Speaker 3:Yeah Darth Maul Sabers Yep.
Speaker 2:Um, so yeah, I was like, did we get our Darth Maul Sabers? I mean, it's right over there. So yes, Finally.
Speaker 3:Oh no, that one you did bring home, it was the Vader one you finally brought home.
Speaker 2:Vader was the one that finally happened but, uh, started to move some of these boxes that I know I'm not going to do anything with for a while over to the basement at Old Girls Town Home. It was like oh, I can see the actual tabletop of the table.
Speaker 1:It's still brown.
Speaker 2:Wild Still got crap all over top of it, but I can at least see the edge.
Speaker 3:I don't remember putting a table cloth on here.
Speaker 2:There's boxes for real. It's like oh why does? This table cloth feel like it can just brush off with a Swiffer? Oh, because it's all dust.
Speaker 3:Who the fuck gets Grace table cloth? That's weird, right, but no, I can actually see under the table.
Speaker 2:It's like oh, look at this, all the boxes out of the way.
Speaker 1:I'm like hey, there's boxes under the table too. I wonder what's in those. It's like Christmas.
Speaker 2:It really was. I opened it. I'm like I don't remember buying this mega desk type whatever it was, or iron maiden freaking Funko pop that was exclusive to hot topic or something I'm like limited 3000. Cool. Like what Notorious BIG. Limited to 1,500? Cool. I didn't know I had bought this stuff. That actually happened. I was going looking for some magic stuff and I was like what the hell is this box? It was one of those Funko the hard stack cases, a six pack. So whatever I put in there had a case on it, a soft case or hard case. So I was like, oh, this is interesting. I was just being like this is interesting. I just really just need to get this out of the way so I can get the magic cards back here.
Speaker 2:But it's like I got to go through it, let me open it up, and I was like, oh, that's cool. It was just like there's some random stuff in that box.
Speaker 3:This is where Jack's Christmas present from last year was.
Speaker 2:I was like oh, that was supposed to go 2022. Oops.
Speaker 3:Anyway, Merry Christmas this year yeah.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, I'm going to be able to. The nice thing is I'm going to be able to give Lou his gift from last year for this year. I'm going to be like oh, Merry.
Speaker 2:Christmas, oh, my Christmas.
Speaker 1:It's been sitting in my house for a year. Merry Christmas.
Speaker 2:Man for real. That'll be you when you finally show up. You know, I mailed you your Superman shirt.
Speaker 1:I forgot about that Never mind, I was like never mind, you got yours. You sent me the root beer mug too.
Speaker 2:That reminds me, just hang on to that one. Okay, I have three or four of those and that one's been sitting up top. I'm never gonna use it because I use my purple one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I might even upgrade next year to the one of the bigger. I don't know if they're tumblr I guess what it is that looks more like tumblr style.
Speaker 2:Uh, because it has a lid. You know the whole thing and it's like the one I have is just, I really wish I had a lid. So now it's like you know what the flip side of that is. They had this energy drink one that does have a tumbler, and I got that, but I don't know if they're doing yearly refills like the way Wild Bill's Except Wild Bill's assholes went from $7 to $10 a day. Oof.
Speaker 3:Tariffs. Tariffs on Sunday.
Speaker 2:As long as I fill it up twice, though, it pays for pay for something. I'm not paying six bucks for a goddamn bottle of soda.
Speaker 1:I did learn too that my friend is volunteering at their booth again at Rose City. So if the shirts, if there's shirts on Saturday or Sunday, I can have him go. Have him take them, I'm sure.
Speaker 2:I'm sure there will be. I'm sure there will be something there that we're going to want.
Speaker 1:I can always get a Sunday ticket too and go back on Sunday as well.
Speaker 2:Is there not enough to do all three days?
Speaker 1:I don't think so.
Speaker 2:I'm thinking that's one of those things where I would plan like hey, next year, how about quote unquote for my birthday? Because it's about the week before my birthday every year. Just fly out for a freaking Portland trip and go to the con.
Speaker 1:I mean there is stuff they just started announcing programming and stuff like that for it, but nothing. I mean, like the goodies never say die, cast reunion spotlight. That'd be kind of cool to go to. David Harbour?
Speaker 3:I think David Harbour and I've always enjoyed watching him on youtube.
Speaker 1:Uh, they're doing like a battlestar galactica cast spotlight with mary mcdonnell, edward james almost and katie sackoff. That's kind of cool like if you're gonna have if you're gonna have the like, if you're gonna have, because usually those panels are like oh yeah, this is a guy like guested on two episodes in season three, you know, type of thing. So to have like really the big three characters from that show. Let's see Walking Dead. Well, even then, what else is there?
Speaker 2:to buy, because it could be. We go Friday, saturday, sunday to go do some purchasing, and Roosevelt's included the rest of the day. You teach me to be a Portland tourist. Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, that could be the other option.
Speaker 3:Let's see, you have to bring your shorts and your flip-flops, lou.
Speaker 2:No, Yep, no, no no.
Speaker 3:I do not.
Speaker 2:Although as long as you don't mind me wearing. I'll absolutely put on some shorts and flip-flops Well, sandals, but I'm going to have socks on, just so you know. Bb Create is going to be there. No surprise, there they're doing the rounds, although I do like anything that I basically miss for them, since I'm a Patreon, just order it after the fact. Even San Diego had some stuff you could get after the fact, but it was not the stuff we needed Not the hex pins yeah.
Speaker 2:Not the stuff we needed, but they did have those comic corner. I think it was Han and Chewie this year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the whole set was available. Granted, it was the first thing to sell out in about eight minutes, but they did have it available. Alright to sell out in about eight minutes, but they did have it available, all right. Like I said, maybe something to consider next year, especially since there's nothing really going on too crazy next year.
Speaker 2:Nothing too huge. There's maybe a plan to head up there. Did they figure out the fallout schedule yet? So you know what you have to do yet Dang Okay.
Speaker 1:The most expensive ticket for Rose City Comic Con Is Club Rose and it's $785.
Speaker 3:God damn, there's only 30 spots available.
Speaker 1:You get access to a private lounge At the.
Speaker 2:Does it have food?
Speaker 1:Exclusive merchandise 20% discount. Oregon Convention Center Fast Pass entrance, 30-minute extra priority lane, access to all celebrity autograph lines and all celebrity photo op lines. Okay, and then you'll also be able to be the first to buy tickets for 2026 yeah, that's pretty consistent. But if you're a vip one year, you can get first opportunity to get vip the next year, and then you get a reserve seat in the first two rows at the main stage for the entire weekend.
Speaker 1:So yeah, denver, fan expo, denver does that too for the vips so I don't know, like 785, like you'd have to be buying a lot of autographs, I think, to make it. I agree.
Speaker 2:It's worth it. I was going to say it's worth it if you plan on doing photo ops and autographs that way time-wise you can just keep going front of the line and all that. That would be worth it if you're be the priority for that, see, I wouldn't, I would just get the ADA pass and go get it from the right.
Speaker 1:But I'm just saying, if you're not doing ADA.
Speaker 2:But if not, then yeah, I would agree with you. Again, as long as you know you're going to be using photo ops and autographs, then hell yeah, why would you? Not do that.
Speaker 1:For that cost, for $155 for a three-day. Yeah, that's see that colorado springs. Pay attention, yeah, learn some shit. And then, if you want so, if you don't want to spend the 785, they do have a 310 fast pass which gets you the priority access to all autographs and photo ops.
Speaker 1:Um, how, much is that 310 so if you didn't want to pay the 785 to give you the access To the lounge and stuff like that. If you were just focused on doing autographs and photo ops. I mean, it's a nice variety of Like levels, right? So the premium might be the play if you want to go and Do. Sala will be there, maybe I'll get my. I should get a Sala Funko Pop and have him sign it. Hell yeah.
Speaker 3:And then have him put a Lord of the Rings quote on it.
Speaker 1:Yep, Because that makes sense. Oh man, oh boy, All right boys.
Speaker 2:What you guys got going on this week. I already told you mine Meeting, movie meeting.
Speaker 1:I think we have.
Speaker 3:K-pop Demon Hunters yeah.
Speaker 2:Nothing tomorrow, Jack Day off.
Speaker 3:I don't want to do shit tomorrow Because last Monday I ended up doing stuff and, um, high school gets out at like one or some shit, so to pick her up, I gotta leave here like 12, 12, 30, so I get a spot, so I don't get no kind of time. Um, but I did spend a bunch of money buying frames because michael's head bogo, so nice, let me frame. Spend a bunch of money buying frames because Michael's had BOGO, so I'm going to be framing a bunch of my prints. Start thinking about putting them up.
Speaker 2:I ended up getting one of those 18x12 binders, so I think it holds 100 prints or something like that, and then the specific Star Wars and Transformers ones. I did put in one of the frames from Hobby Lobby. The front boatings are only like six bucks a piece, so I had a few of those, grabbed a few extra and everything else went into the binder.
Speaker 1:Nice.
Speaker 3:I've got some sexy shit to put up on the wall.
Speaker 1:Getting around to doing it is the hard part.
Speaker 2:There is that I want to put some shelves up in the bedroom. That's where the Transformers stuff is so I can move some of the Transformers figures from one area to another. But I was like then I gotta get the shelves and make sure my laser levels is all out it's like man this is work.
Speaker 3:I don't feel like doing work right now. I know they took some of my popcorn buckets down when they were doing the crown molding. I'm like maybe I got to get the ladder and do stuff.
Speaker 2:It's like work. I totally feel that.
Speaker 1:Doing karaoke. A lot of that, yeah.

Speaker 1:Happy birthday the people who don't think about you for the other 364 days of the year.

Growing up it wasn't really acknowledged in a group of friends that you change every few years. Here's your birthday. I remember 30.

Speaker 2:And then this one, 50. I don't care. It's like I'm not making a fuss. I will. The people at work will know about it because they have a list of everybody's birthdays. But that's the extent of it. It's like I'm not going anywhere. I'm not doing anything. If I do anything, I'm going to chubby fish and get me some all youyou-can-eat Japanese food. That's what I'm doing. That's about it. I was like, oh, what about you? I'm going to do one. It's your 50th. I'm like I don't give a fuck man.
